The Steam version of dragon strategy arcade game Hoard launches on PC and Mac on 4th April, Big Sandwich Games has announced.

It costs $9.99, but a limited time "fire-sale" discount of 25 per cent will be available to pre-sales from 21st March.

Like the console version, Steam Hoard has four modes, over 35 levels, leaderboards, four-player co-op and competitve multiplayer.

But the Steam version also has some new features not in in the console release, including an all new Night Mode, a Winter tile set, new maps and over a hundred Steam achievements. Then, of course, there's Steam Play, facilitating PC and Mac cross-platform play.

"Hoard is a great fit for Steam's vibrant player community," said designer Tyler Sigman.

"We're thrilled to finally confirm a date, and look forward to seeing a lot of dragons flying around on 4th April!"

Hoard first released in the US for PlayStation 3 as a PlayStation Network download. Kristan Reed's 8/10 Hoard review revealed a quality arcade experience. "With its immediate sense of fun and slick controls, Hoard hooks you in right from the off - whether in campaign mode or competitive multiplayer - and it's also a formula with a surprising amount of depth."
